Because hydration occurs for a longer period of time\u00a0due to an internal moisture source,\u00a0internally\u00a0cured concrete bridges continue to get stronger.<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/td><\/tr><\/table><\/div><\/div>

This continued hydration also results in a\u00a0reduction in permeability.<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/td><\/tr><\/table><\/div><\/div>

Early shrinkage of concrete can be mitigated due\u00a0to the presence of additional internal moisture,\u00a0and by reducing shrinkage, internal curing enables unwanted cracking to be delayed or eliminated.<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/td><\/tr><\/table><\/div><\/div>

Internal curing\u00a0can increase the service life of high performance concrete (HPC) bridge decks by almost ten years, due to the absence of initial cracking.<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/td><\/tr><\/table><\/div><\/div>

\u200bThe use of HPC with internal curing in bridge decks can bring an additional economical benefit by delaying the times at which repairs and rehabilitation of the reinforced concrete deck are required.<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/td><\/tr><\/table><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
